About
Little Therriault Lake Campground is a small, primitive campground tucked into the Ten Lakes Scenic Area of northwest Montana's Kootenai National Forest. Located 12.5 air miles from Fortine, the campground sits along a subalpine lake in the Whitefish Range, providing a quiet retreat for anglers and those seeking solitude. The lake supports fishing and allows pack boats for water access. The campground has six individual sites, each equipped with a picnic table and fire ring. Vault toilets and food storage boxes are provided. A hand pump provides drinking water during the managed season, though availability may vary. The area is popular with hikers exploring the surrounding Ten Lakes Scenic Area trails. Access requires a drive on forest roads, with the final approach via Bluebird Creek Road. The route is generally passable for vehicles up to 32 feet, though road conditions are weather-dependent. Snow typically limits access outside the summer season.
